A new year and another year!!!!

How awesome!!!! How blessed we are!!!!! How blessed I am!!!

Today is birthday number 70 for my best friend!!!!! I am so grateful for him and for the fact that he fought so long and hard to stay with me and our family. It was so scary for a long time. How grateful I am for all of the staff at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center for the way they fought for Norm to be able to stay with me and his family...and for all of our family,friends and neighbors who fought a good fight also. How we treasure all of them.

Let me show you some of the changes we have seen during the year of 2008! There are so many!!!

And so many more!!! Thank you Norm for coming back, and thank you to all of you who had so much to do with his return to us!!!

Happy Birthday Norm.....we love you!!!

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice. ~Meister Eckhart

MY FAVORITE QUOTE

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.

If you have food in your refridgerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank or in your wallet, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not"
